Games in the Workplace?
Anonymous Coward asks: "Back in the day it was not uncommon for games to contain 'Escape Buttons' and other commands to quickly exit a game. These games appealed to the Geek at Work as he could fill in his Friday afternoon and as soon as he heard his boss' shoes approaching, he could escape from the third dungeon and return to his spreadsheet. Yet games today are not allowing such activities to occur. Most games are requiring so much dedicated action that it is impossible to play a game and still switch back and forth without long delays. Where are the games for the worker?"
Your company is wasting money.
This is not the way to build a lasting empire.
Why hide? If you do your work, complete tasks/projects on time, and you aren't a freakin' parasite your boss will know it and not care if you kick-back every now and then. If he doesn't then he's out of touch with his people, and situations like that tend to correct themselves. (Unless the corruption goes straight to the top, then it's time to look for a new professional home). What do you have to hide? If, on the other hand, you are a worthless waste of company resources then just stay home and play games. Problem solved. I have no sympathy who people who spend most of their effort trying to beat the system.
